Thesis Statement
Argumentative essay about why children should be taught gun safety. Introduction, body & conclusion. Directions. Review your thesis points from your introduction. You will write one paragraph about each of your main points included in your thesis statement. Sort through your research and locate the sources that relate to your first thesis point. Highlight, underline, paraphrase, summarize, or quote any information you might like to use to help prove your point.
Once you have that information organized, you may start writing. Please follow these steps: Write your topic sentence – a sentence that states your first main point. You must use a transitional expression to introduce your first point, such as “first”.
Next, explain this main point in detail. Discuss one reason that proves your main point. You must explain it in your own words, and then you must use evidence from your research to help support your point. Incorporate research and opinion in a clear manner. You MUST cite your evidence, even if you paraphrase, summarize, or directly quote it.
Now discuss another reason, using evidence from your research to support your point. The same rules abide. You may repeat the previous step until you have provided enough reasoning for your first point. Next, you must state the opposition. What information does the other side present? After you present this information, you must refute it by providing information that connects back to your viewpoint.
Lastly, conclude your paragraph with a brief summary and strong statement that persuades the reader to believe your argument. This should be written in your own words. You will repeat all of these steps for your second and third thesis points. Make sure to start a new paragraph each time you start writing about a different point.
